The digital difference: Muslims in Malaysia use tech to adapt to Ramadan under MCO


As Ramadan bazaars are not allowed to operate during conditional MCO, some sellers are offering their food through apps. — Bernama

Universiti Malaya student Nurfatihah Noor Azhar Shah is making video calls at least two to three times a day to stay in touch with her family in Penang during Ramadan.

She moved out of the Petaling Jaya campus and rented a place when the MCO started, as students were not allowed to go back to their hometown at the time though the government has since given permission for them to travel back in batches.
